Gin Jackson

Urban Ministries of Durham

 

As Director of Community Engagement at Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD), Gin Jackson is not a volunteer, but she makes the work of more than 4000 volunteers possible. Gin recruits, screens, and places volunteers, creatively matching individuals and groups with jobs at UMD’s Community Café, Food Pantry, and Clothing Closet. She works with the board, forges relationships with local organizations, and develops new projects and initiatives. She identifies, lists, and solicits gifts and donations, and finds opportunities for public outreach and fundraising. In the words of Patrice Nelson, her supervisor, Gin “brings the organizational skills of a corporate manager to UMD. Every day, she expands our community connections . . . increasing the number of people who are aware of UMD and engaged in our work.”
 
Thank you, Gin, for the countless ways in which you’ve made UMD more efficient, more professional, and more useful to those it serves.
